Does this particular lens have full 180 degree capability and how many elements are in the lens? Thanks!

First off, to me, this is a 'lens attachment', not a lens, since it doesn't mount directly to the camera. Secondly, your FOV with this will totally depend on what lens you attach it to. For example, with the 18-55mm kit lens for Canon, at 18mm with this attachment and you get a circle image that probably (just speculating here) covers close to 180 degree FOV, however lots of chromatic aberration and very soft around the edges....read the comments about 30% of the image being 'soft'...that's about accurate. Anyway, this is fun to play with and get some dramatic shots, but it is what it is for the price.

You get 2 lenses. The smaller one 10-30 and the larger one 30-110. With the larger one I can go pretty close up on an item from far. And the quality of the picture is still good. Hope this helps

It is primarily a wide angle lens but will take pictures of groups of people. Its strength would be in taking a larger groups of people in a confined space. Would also set up so that people at each end are not right at the frame border in picture but in the middle 3/4 of the picture to avoid edge distortion. A minimal concern. Great lens.

The camera head can be directed in a 180 degree fashion. (fairly well designed) But there is no optical zoom, so you may need to make adjustments for "framing".

Hey so the diagonal angle of view for this lens is 79.5 degrees compared to 107 degrees at 10mm. If you'd like to see what that equates to visually Lonely Spec has a great article on picking on a lens for Milky Way photography that visually shows the difference for ASP-C and full frame lenses.

This lens has a rotating lens mounting ring. Works great and make this lens a good deal.

Probably not, it will also depend on the camera sensor, used on a full frame you will get 180 degree view with a round image and black edges, you can use as a wide angle but you will then require distortion removal in post processing. I have a shot used on a full frame at 14mm of Bristol Motor Speedway here- https://www.flickr.com/photos/theaterwiz/14465665804/ , that shot is at 14mm with no perspective or distortion adjustments, I will say it is a fun lens.

This is a wide angle lens intended for taking pics of scenery and architecture. It's not optimal for taking pictures of people, but at 22mm it is capable without a doubt.

Yes about 60 degrees; however, when combined with the 120 degree focus area, you get at least 180 degrees of adjustment, but only 120 degrees of live area. We purchased 5. One was defective. The merchant was wonderful and replaced it immediately. We are very happy with this purchase.

ALL AF capable lenses that i've ever touched will allow you to rotate it past the two places where it should stop. The only lense i've ever handled that had a proper mechanical stop was made by Zeiss, i love them!

the 17-85 gives a slight wide angle. I use it outdoors all the time (yosemite, grand canyon, etc.). I personally find that true wide-angle lenses are too specific in function. This lens makes for a great all-around lens to have on hand when out and about in a natural setting where you don't want to haul in multiple lenses.

Hello... To be honest, I returned the lens because I could not figure it out and I realized I bought the wrong lens... Good luck...

You can choose between 60, 90 and 120 deg angles in the menu. Even the 120 isn't really fish eyed where as normal fish eye lenses distort around the edges. Hope this helps.

Nope, it doesn't. For wide angle lenses is not common to have that feature.When in doubt, check the coding in the name. If it has an 'IS' it means it has Image Stabilization.

No it doesnt have the blurry side angles. It gives a fish eye picture, I really like the lens.

I have found the 18-140 mm lens to be so versatile that I do not need multiple lens to cover this range. No fumbling for lens changes. No additional heavy pieces to carry around.

The widest angle on the camera I believe is 23mm. Which isn't that bad, and with the price around $200, this camera is well worth it. I bought when it first came out around $300. I still don't regret buying it. If your really looking for a nice "smart" camera, then this is the one. If you want a more professional camera, go with a Sony Hx-300 ($400) or a Sony Hx-200 ($300). Hope I help! Any more questions, just ask :)
